Sigh, another dilemma.
I'm flying back from Sydney to Amsterdam in the beginning of Jan 2026. I'm not doing a 30 hr flight on the way back. Where should I spend a few days as a layover?

@Gina already booked? Singapore (nice!) or Hongkong (awesome) are also possible layovers?

@mfr I've already been to Singapore so that one's out. But Hongkong could be an option as it's literally next to Guangzhou. Why Hongkong though?
For context, if I'd choose Guangzhou I would want to visit Shenzhen, and more importantly, Foshan's furniture factories. The latter because I'm considering starting a custom desk business and it's a great place for inspo and suppliers. But I would have to put some research into it first.

@Gina if you do Guangzhou, then a few travel tips for China, because it's literally its own planet.
A vpn that is KNOWN to work in China, setup beforehand. Sufshark with wire guard and region set to Japan worked mostly.
Alipay is a must, setup ahead of time, don't use a virtual card unless you can print a bank statement for it.
Didi for China (separate app) for uber-like.
Amap, maps in English that work.And you good to go.

@Gina also if the staff at the coffee shop till/counter ignore you, look for a QR code, scan it with Alipay and order through alipay.
Most things work like that.

@Gina side note, deepseek was better than chatgpt for helping me adventure about shanghai. But still sent me looking for a mall that closed in 2015.
Oh and either a translation app that is known to work in China, or Google translate with Chinese downloaded for offline use ahead of time. The general English level isn't great.

@Gina I'm voting familiar and easy. You'll have plenty of time for hectic when you get back.

@Gina personally, I'm usually very thankful for new experiences in life - especially with travel 😊

@notzed it is, but it's just so good. Although I'd also go out of my way to find a good khao soi 🔥

@Gina went there with a mate who was born there but left at 10, we were a bit dissapointed in the heat and sweetness of the food till we learnt of the eastern heat visiting his relatives in Khon Kaen. The warm beer sucked everywhere tho.

#armiatomiche #calendario #noriarmo
Alla base di #Ghedi salta l’open day del 4 Novembre. Cancellata la tradizionale apertura al pubblico. Oggi 24 ottobre, davanti all’ingresso, c'è una manifestazione contro le armi atomiche.

@sashabilton that's basically what Gemini is, but I feel it's throwing out the baby with the bathwater

"Rallenta. Respira. Lascia che la vita scorra, non serve correre.
Fermati. Guarda quanto è bello ciò che già c'è.
Non c'è bisogno di correre verso un altrove, perché la vera destinazione è qui, in questo momento.
Ogni respiro che ti attraversa è già un piccolo risveglio".❤️🐞
